How big of a pole do you use and how much do you weigh?

I weigh 147 and the biggest poles i use are a 15' 165 lb, and a 14' 170 lb
I just remembered I think someone else asked this same thing once.

I'm around 150, give or take 3lbs any given day. I used to use a 15' 170, 175, 180 carbon(s). Now I'm back on spirits, hold low on a 16' 160, got a new 165 but ohio weather sucks and haven't got to use it yet :mad:
